Friends, Ceo, Grahame, Rhody and Collin all attend a yuppity boarding school. Ceo, who is the king manipulator (primarily to get anything he wants from women of all ages) sets in place a plan for the 4 of them to go camping in Yosemite for the weekend. He creates an elaborate plan manipulating many entities to get them off campus unauthorized. At the last minute, Rhody backs out of the deal. Little to the other’s knowledge, he has also invited along a girl, Ellie, to join them.
It is clear, from the beginning that distrust deeply rooted in these boys friendship. There are occasional flashbacks to when Ceo and Collin were competing for placement in the school’s tennis team. Ceo comes from money but Collin is a scholarship athlete. His scholarship is dependent upon him remaining in the top two places on the tennis team. Ceo, as he so often does, conned his way into winning that match.
This book starts with a girl (Ellie) and one of the guys lost in the woods in a snow storm. When finally the reach camp, they see one other member of their group (the two guys remain nameless at this point) pacing back at camp. They can see that something is wrong and that his jacket has a “black stain on it”. From this prologue you know throughout the first half of the book that something goes terribly wrong – that their hiking/ camping through Yosemite is bound to end in tragedy. The author doesn’t reveal exactly WHAT the tragedy is or TO WHOM it occurs, though you know to be awaiting a snow storm and likely some tragic end. I enjoyed this quick, easy read from NetGalley and BookishFirst. To be published in February 2018.
